Try this. It puts Saturday as the Friday before it and Sunday as the Firday
after so if you want Saturday or Sunday to be on different weeks you will
need to do a little tweaking but this should get you going.
SELECT
date_trunc('day', col_a + (interval '1 day' * (5 - extract(dow from
col_a)))) AS week_ending,
sum(col_b) AS col_b_total
FROM foo
GROUP BY
date_trunc('day', col_a + (interval '1 day' * (5 - extract(dow from
col_a))))
